“We are on the verge of a rebirth,” Cruz declared to a conservative audience at the National Review Institute Summit.

Lambasting President Barack Obama’s inauguration speech as “an ode to liberalism” and as much of a lip-sync job as Beyonce’s version of the National Anthem, Cruz — who has been pushing his idea of “opportunity conservatism” — encouraged conservative not to lose hope, despite an emboldened Obama and Democratic majority in the Senate.

“We can stop this, we can turn it around and in fact, I am right now incredibly, incredibly optimistic,” he said.

Cruz offered two paths for the movement to follow, one short-term and one long. His short-term plan, he said, is largely directed to the Republican majority in the House of Representatives — what he called “the last bastion standing between us and oblivion.”

Hope to see newcomers to Congress like Ted Cruz and Tim Scott really shake things up and get our country back on the American track of freedom, giving opportunity for all who work hard and take personal responsibility for their own dreams and actions. That is when we will see the return of prosperity, and never-ending horizons for American families.

Hispanics and women who make more than $400,000 a year must look at how they voted. Who reaps the benefits of their accomplishments. Dem = what you earn belongs to the State. Repub = keep what you earn.
